On the 1993 *Journal of Applied Nutrition* article, please note my hedging
below since I don't have the article in front of me.

As I recall, the produce used in this study was collected from retail
outlets. the study could not control for effects other than organic vs.
conventional (cultivar, harvest maturity, post harvest handling, etc).

I decided that it was difficult to use this study to compare nutritional
value of organic vs. conventional produce. I would dearly love to see valid
and critical comparisons made.

Hope these commetns are helpful.
